Downloading...
Whenever I download a Scratch Project on my computer it asks me what I should open it up with. I click Scratch. Then, it says "Squeak: select an image file" or something like that. So i tried saving it and opening it up manully in Scratch, but THAT wont work! What should i do?

Re: Downloading...
Have you tried saving the file to someplace, then going into the scratch program and opening it with the open option under the file menu? Since Scratch is actually a Squeak image file, you can't open projects in it the same way you can with other programs.

I believe s/he mentioned they did
No, I don't mean browsing to the file, clicking on it, and then when it asks what to open it with, selecting Scratch. I meant opening Scratch up, then opening the project that way. With Scratch, it's not the same thing.
EDIT: Wait, I just tried it for myself, and the way I said wouldn't work worked. O_O That's odd. It didn't before. Well, try it anyway I guess.

That was what s/he meant, I thought

What happens when you try to manually open the file in Scratch?
Well, i go to where I saved it and it's not there...
Hm... Are you sure you're looking in the right place? Try saving it to somewhere like the desktop.

Re: Downloading...
Is this the error? 
If that is right go to windows file association and reinstall scratch and make sure the file has not been deleted go under .sb in windows file association and make sure it goes to Scratch.exe.

Squeak cant take over Scratch. What are you talking about? 
And to take a picture of the screen, (screenshot) press the print screen key on your keyboard and paste it into an image editor, such as Paint.

Re: Downloading...
I know what the problem is! You dragged Scratch out of the Scratch folder. You need to have it in there or it won't work. I would suggest making a shortcut and dragging it to where ever you want it.
